S. MAY LOSE WORLD LEADERSHIP OPINION OF EASTERN MAN That world leadership is likely to glip from the grasp of Americans and be taken over hy;mwmdk and less lakadaisical peoâ€" ples is the belief of Frederick Midgâ€" ley of Worcester, Mass., a prominent New England farmer who has just sailed for Greece, where he will bo-] come director of agricultural educaâ€" tion for Near East Relief. . Views Attained * Mr. M# ‘s views on the imâ€" pending decline of America leaderâ€" ship are derived from his study of American boys as compared with the foreignâ€"born youth. (‘The Worcester farmer was selected for his new ovâ€" erseas post not noly because of his ability as a farmer, but also because of his success in teaching boy;l‘tho rudiments of truck farming. ‘Much of his experience has been with boys of the very type which he will deal with in the Near East orphan schools. Foreignâ€"born lads from crowded city tenements have been employed on his farms each summer for many years, and he has found them more capable of developing selfâ€"supporting qualiâ€" ties than nativeâ€"born Americans. European Youth Adaptable "I ‘find Greek and Italian boys esâ€" pecially adaptable," he said, "as well as energetic and enthusiastic. Amâ€" erican boys, sheltered and supported in their homes, are no longer either adaptable nor quick to learn. It is not that they are less intelligent, but that they seldom feel the spur of neâ€" cessity. Greek and Italian boys who work for me invariably turn their wages over to their mothers for household expenses, and are proud to do it. American boys just as invarâ€" iably spend their wages for their own pleasure. + T Not Like Pioneer Days â€" "The American nation owes its reâ€" markable : rise in world leaderhip largely to the hard school of pioneerâ€" ing. The lessons which we leatned in that tough school seem likely to be lost almost as quickly as they were acquired. As anation, we have beâ€" come soft; we are losing our oldâ€"time energy; the pioneering spirit is deâ€" parting, and nothing has replaced it save the somewhat flabby love of adâ€" venture." Before leaving Worcester, Mr. and Mrs. Midgley were the guests of honâ€" or at a civic farewell, when he was the first citizen of Worcester to reâ€" ceive the golden key of the city, an New Director of Agriculture for Near East Says Youth Losing Initiative Which Marked the Pioneers PAGE FOUR Tel. 1448 _ Highwood, II!.
